Little Things

Sometimes all you need,

to brighten up your day,

is a simple smile or laugh,

sent from far away.

A rainbow forming from the clouds,

the stars that shine at night,

all the tiny things,

that make a day so bright,

a small yet perfect butterfly,

perched on a dainty flower,

jumping into puddles,

 from an afternoon shower,

All these little things, 

they make our life so great,

yet are barely acknowledged, 

until it is too late.

For little things create the big,

the "big" that we find great,

like going to a party,

or staying up real late.

but these things do not happen,

every single day,

and so we feel unlucky,

sad, and down in every way...

we feel rejected, and feel mad,

because our life's not "perfect",

but now, sit down, lie back,

reflect!

for it truly is the little things...

the little things that make life perfect.
